This book consists of edited conversations between DP_s, Gaffer_s, their crew and equipment suppliers. In common with the other CML books it doesn_t have the same structure as a _normalî film reference book. It covers discussions on High Definition between Janaury 2001 and November 2004. The discussions have occasionally been edited for clarity and brevity. They will sometimes ramble a little but that_s the nature of a conversation and some interesting information comes out in the process! Our aim is to promote the free exchange of ideas among fellow professionals, the cinematographer, their camera crew, manufacturer's, rental houses and related businesses. Kodak, Arri, Aaton, Panavision, Otto Nemenz, Clairmont, Optex, VFG, Schneider, Tiffen, Fuji, Panasonic, Thomson, K5600, BandPro, Lighttools, Cooke, Plus8, SLF, Atlab Kinetta and Fujinon are among the companies represented.
